“…Pain is generally secondary to bony exostoses off the tibia or talus impinging on interposed hypertrophied synovium or scar tissue within the anterior ankle during squatting, sprinting, stair climbing and landing (Berberian, 2001;Biedert, 1991;Branca, 1997;Rasmussen and Hjorth Jensen, 2002;Sanders and Rathur, 2008;Talusan, 2014). AAI is generally observed in young, athletic populations participating in activities requiring repetitive hyperdorsiflexion or direct impact on the ankle with a history of recurrent ankle inversion injuries (Devgan, 2016;St Pierre et al, 1983), being common in ballet dancers and soccer players (Massada, 1991;O'Kane and Kadel, 2008;Stoller, 1984;Tol et al, 2001Tol et al, , 2002. In patients with persistent symptoms despite conservative management, surgical excision of bony spurs and debridement of impinging soft tissue in the anterior ankle is recommended (Talusan, 2014).…”
